Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday. Pryor is symptom free and is expected to start on Sunday night against the Rams. He'll be a Sneaky Start against a shaky Chargers pass defense.

Due to baseball playoffs, Raiders Oct. 6 home game vs. Chargers has been switched from 4:25 pm ET to 11:35 pm ET.

Fantasy Impact:

It's going to put in question Darren McFadden and Terrelle Pryor for next week. While Pryor seems more likely to play, at this point you could be risking points if their statuses aren't clearer heading toward Sunday.

Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor (concussion, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 4. Adam Schefter reported that Pryor is unlikely to play against the Redskins, though HC Dennis Allen said on Friday that Pryor just has to pass one more test on Saturday to play, so hopefully we'll have more clarity tomorrow. Matt Flynn would be a high-risk Sneaky Start against a very shaky Redskins pass defense. If he can play, Pryor would be a top 12 QB given the matchup.

Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor, who suffered a concussion Monday night, is unlikely to play Sunday vs. Washington, per sources.

Fantasy Impact:

Matt Flynn is likely to get the start. He has a great matchup against the Redskins, but would be a risky play as a QB2-type.

Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor (concussion) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Adam Schefter is reporting that Pryor is unlikely to play against the Redskins. Matt Flynn would be a Sneaky Start against a very shaky pass defense.

Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor (concussion) did not practice Wednesday. Pryor has not yet been cleared for practice, but he has been cleared for physical activity. It's a good sign that he'll be out there against the Redskins on Sunday. He'd be a top 12 QB given the matchup.

Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor left the game early after taking a big hit. It turns out that big hit resulted in a concussion.

Pryor took a massive hit on a designed quarterback run as he was sandwiched by a pair of Broncos defenders. He stayed on the ground for a bit while the officials determined if the Raiders quarterback fumbled the ball.

Fantasy Impact:

Pryor later tweeted that he didn't remember taking the hit, which is not a good sign. But he added that he feels great. It's bad timing for the Raiders on a short week with Washington up next. Not to mention, he played pretty well in a tough matchup against the Broncos. Pryor will now have to pass NFL protocol before being able to go in Week 4. Matt Flynn is the backup and would get the start. Often associated with a weak arm, Flynn gets a pretty good matchup against the Skins at least, who have been torched by opposing defenses. He's at best a low-end QB2 option.

Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie spoke with seven Bay Area-based reporters at the team's headquarters in a half-hour roundtable chat and broached topics ranging from Terrelle Pryor to team expectations to pending free agents to the need for the Raiders to get the ball more to playmaking fullback Marcel Reece.

Fantasy Impact:

Reece is a productive gadget player but he only has three touches in two games. For a team that is going to have trouble moving the ball, the Raiders would be wise to utilize Reece more.

Pryor was one of just two 100-plus yard rushers on Sunday in Week 1 (the other was Shane Vereen). He's going to make his share of mistakes, but there's certainly upside with the rushing yardage and potential rushing TDs. He's not a QB1 option but it could get pretty tempting to plug him in a QB2 spot or use him as a backup, or even in certain matchups.

It's interesting to note that Pryor and Streater worked out all summer because that tends to have an impact in games. Passing yards will be hard to come by in this offense, but it sounds like Streater might be fantasy relevant in 2013.

The San Francisco Chronicle has learned Terrelle Pryor is starting at quarterback for Raiders Sunday, per couple of league sources.

Fantasy Impact:

Pryor ran ahead of Matt Flynn on Monday at practice, despite Pryor's struggles in the final preseason game. Pryor's ability to run makes him a better fantasy option than Flynn, but, inserting Pryor in your fantasy lineup to open the season isn't a good idea. Oakland plays at Indy in Week 1.
